Books can benefit from infidelity
The legend of Tiger Woods began on the nationally syndicated "Mike Douglas Show" in 1977.
Woods was paraded on stage by his late father, Earl Woods,and showed off his golf swing at age 2 before guests Bob Hope and Jimmy Stewart.
Woods then developed into a golf phenomenon, before his off-the-course image began spiraling downward in the past three weeks.
It has hit such a low that a British bookmaker is taking bets on how much Elin Nordegren will get if she becomes the ex-wife of golf's top star.
Bettors can get 25-1 odds that Nordegren will receive more than half a billion dollars in a divorce settlement. The odds drop to 6-4 for a settlement of less than $100 million. Oddsmaker William Hill is offering only 1-2 odds that she would get between $100 million and $500 million.
The longest shot is whether a financial settlement will be made public pending divorce.
But Nordegren is not the only woman in Woods' harem who can benefit from his infidelities.
Radio shock jock Howard Stern is trying to line up the "Tiger Bowl" for early next year by luring Woods' many ladies to compete in a beauty contest in which the winner could get as much as $100,000.
Woods, the recently crowned athlete of the decade by The Associated Press, might be the king of the Masters, but he's also lord of mistresses.
? WOODS' IMPACT -- No denying Tiger Woods has cheated on his wife; he admitted as much on his Web site. But at least he hasn't been caught cheating at a golf course in the back of a Buick SUV.
A greater concern, as noted in a headline on Fark.com, is that "because of Tiger, golfers will turn away from the sport, appalled at the idea that money and hot women are just around the corner."
